THE END OF IT ALL,.
THE HAMLET OF H06US PO.
mmxBBsmmmifmmm
The proud man, fat with the fat of the land.
Dozed back in his silken chair;
Choice wines of the world, black men to command,
Rare curios rich and rare
Tall knights in armor on either hand
Yet trouble was in the air.
The proud man dreamed of his young days, when
He toiled light-hearted and sang all day.
He dreamed again of his gold and men
Grown old in his service and hungry and gray.
Then his two hands tightened a time; and then
They tightened, and tightened to stay !
Ah, me ! this drunkenness worse than wine !
This grasping with greedy hold !
Why, the poorest man upon earth, I opine,
Is the man who has nothing but gold.
How better the love of man divine,
With God's love manifold !
They came to the dead man back in his chair,
DuBk liveried servants that come with the light;
His eyes stood open with a frightened stare;
But his hands still tightened as a vice is tight.
They opened his hands nothing was there,
Nothing but bits of night:
Joaqoin Milleb.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
When Saturday comes and the end draws nigh,
Or a wees goes out to the sea,
Do you then look back with a sorrowful sigh,
Or expect to go off on a spree?
When the day is done and the shadows Blow
Creep around your empty table,
Do you think of the days that yet will go,
And the hearse and shroud so sable?
Or do you sit there, .
In bright sun's glare.
Gloating with gormand's fill;
With never a care
If you creditors swear
About that unpaid bill?
If you do, young man, this old gentleman who is talking would
admonish you to brace up. Get a move upon yourself. Of course,
you are moving now; moving rapidly down the hill of life going
certainly to an uncertain destiny but who knows where? Did you
take a day off yesterday? It was not cold, a little damp. And if
you did, "id you figure out where you made some blunders in the
six days that unwound and leaped into eternity, "Know thyself."
It was written well of old, and yet precious few of the countless
millions ever try to get acquainted with themselves. The world is
not all shadow it hath its griefs and its sorrows yet the sunlight
the golden sunlight of God, pierces through the banks of clouds
which are sorrow; pierces thr nigh the bleak and diemal mist which
spreads its gloom and happiness is in store for all and all the only
requirement to possess it being, do good. Al Faibbbother.
On the thirty-secoud day of the thirteenth month, on the eighth
day of the week,
On the twenty-fifth hour and the sixty-first minute, we find all
things that we seek.
They are there in the limbo of Lollipop land, a cloud island and
resting in air.
On the nowhere side of the Mountain of Mist, in the Valley of
Overthere.
On the Nowhere side of the Mountain of Mist, in the. Valley of
Overthere.
On a solid vapor foundation of cloud are palaces grand and fair;
And there is where our dreams will come true, and the beeds of
our hope will grow.
On the thitheward side of the Hills of Hope, in the Hamlet of
Hocus Po.
On the thitherward side of the Hills of Hope, in the Hamlet of
Hocus To,
We shall see all the things that we want to see, and know all we
want to know;
For there the old men will lament, the babies will never squeak,
In the Cross-road Corners of Chaosville, in the County of Hide-
andgoseek.
In the Cross-road Corners of Chaosville, in the County of Hide-
andgoseek,
On the thirty-Becond day of the thirteenth month, on the eighth
day of the week.
We Bhall do all the things that we please to do, and accomplish
whatever we try,
On the sunset shore of Sometimeorother, by the beautiful Bay of
Bimeby.
